POWERED BY JOSEPH´S FLOORING inc.
Unirugs.com. was created by Joseph´s Flooring inc, a family owned business for over forty years. Unirugs.com offers custom rugs for a wide variety of tastes. We can create a rug from almost any photograph including grandchildren, pets, race cars, high school mascots, with your graduating year and name printed on it. Personalize your own rug, by sending us a picture, (requires a .jpeg picture file type). We can transfer it to a rug so you can use it as a wall hanging or keep sake. Have your logo printed on a rug, a wall-to-wall broadloom, or do a whole room. You can spruce up, country clubs, offices, organizations, stores or any space appropriate for a rug. These custom rugs are unique in many ways and can be used for such purposes as raising money for high school PROJECT GRADUATION, or a gift for a special occasion.Unirugs.com also carries over 190 different college and university rugs. For you sports fans, we offer officially licensed NFL, MLB and NCAA football, basketball and spirit rugs. Check out Unirugs exclusive offers! All these rugs are made of 100% STAINMASTER nylon fiber and manufactured by Milliken floor covering.
Unirugs.com would like to tell you why they choseMilliken as their manufacturer of these beautiful area rugs. Milliken Floor Covering has generated zero waste from carpet manufacturing since 1999 and is contracted to use a minimum of 80 percent of the methane harvested from the local landfill. Milliken is the only company in Georgia and the textile industry to achieve Cleaner and GreenerSM/Health & Climate Care certification from the respected Leonardo Academy. Milliken Floor Covering has reduced energy and water consumption by over 50% (per pound of product) since 1995, while increasing production.
Milliken has long been committed to the practice of sustainable consumption. "Using alternative energies such as methane from their local landfill fits perfectly into this vision. As they face increasing challenges with petroleum based energy supply and demand, stewardship of existing resources and exploration of alternatives becomes more critical."
The company currently is purchasing 80 percent of the rapidly renewable gas generated by the city. Adding methane as an alternative energy source has quickly demonstrated benefits. There are obvious cost savings from recent increases in natural gas prices, which have risen approximately 400 percent since 2002. In addition, the use of methane saves millions of cubic feet of natural gas consumption, making more natural gas available for others.
"The conversion to methane from our local landfill is part of a continuing sustainable journey to reduce our environmental impact in the communities where we live and work. "In keeping with Milliken´s pledge to "do no harm" to the environment, they are excited about their partnership with the local government to harvest methane."
With more than a century of environmental stewardship, Milliken & Company, headquartered in Spartanburg, South Carolina, retains one of the strongest environmental management systems in the industry. It is the first and only textile company to be certified as a Cleaner and Greener manufacturer by the prestigious Leonardo Academy. Milliken carpet, based in LaGrange, Georgia is an international manufacturer of carpet and rugs that follows the principles of total quality management, environmental and safety initiatives. This has earned Milliken & Company global respect and recognition for uncompromising sustainable leadership and innovations. Milliken´s director of solid waste, said, "Milliken has put in place an aggressive recycling program with an ultimate goal of zero waste generation. This award is wonderful recognition of the emphasis all of our associates place on the important issue of sustainability."
The recycling processes Milliken has implemented have resulted in less than 1% of the Company´s solid waste stream being land filled. Additionally, 38 of Milliken´s domestic locations sent zero waste to landfills in 2006. Milliken has also reduced its water usage by over half since 1991.
When you purchase a rug or broadloom from Unirugs.com, you not only get a great value, but you also support the Milliken Company who cares about the environment that our children will share in the future.
